What makes our Cloud Servers great?

We built our own public cloud here in the UK, on our own hardware. We're not reselling solutions from other cloud providers. We've created a truly unique solution that's perfectly designed for small business.

Choose Linux...

Our Cloud Servers provide highly tuned performance for Linux. Choose from a range of distros, including Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Fedora, OpenSUSE, or Slackware.

Windows Server...

Our Cloud Servers can run Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, or any other OS. We offer Windows licenses on a month-by-month basis: no more expensive upfront licensing costs!

or FreeBSD!

We’re also proud to support FreeBSD, an operating system with true UNIX heritage, trusted by many for it’s very high standards of documentation, security and reliability!

Deployed in minutes

It takes just a few clicks to place an order. We start building your Cloud Server the moment your order completes. You’ll be up and running in less than 5 minutes.

You're in full control

You get full root/administrator access to your Cloud Server, and our customer portal gives you access to instantly boot, reboot, shutdown, or completely re-install your Cloud Server at the touch of a button.

Super-fast upgrades

Adding more RAM, disk space or bandwidth takes just a few clicks. No more time-consuming migrations to new hardware if you outgrow your server!

Our fantastic support

We care about our customers and as such we provide in depth technical support to help you resolve any set up or technical issues you may have.

Molly Matcham Photography

"I chose File Sanctuary for a cloud server to deliver subscription content for my iOS app, and it has turned out to be an excellent decision. The server was easy to set up and has proved to be completely reliable. If support is required, it is rapid, helpful, and detailed. As well as all this, it is exceptionally good value. My desire was for a 'fit and forget' server that just works, so that I can focus my time on improving the app rather than fighting a server, and File Sanctuary delivered this seamlessly."

Frequently asked questions

What is a Cloud Server?

A cloud server is a virtualised computing resource that provides scalable and on-demand hosting services over the internet. It offers flexible resources such as CPU, memory, storage, and network connectivity. Unlike traditional physical servers, cloud servers can be quickly provisioned, resized, or scaled down as needed. They empower businesses and individuals to run applications, store data, and host websites efficiently and cost-effectively without the need for dedicated hardware.
